I'm sorry, but isn't the purpose of a fashion model to showcase the garment, accesories, make-up.
I mean, no matter how big the model is, they're only used to bring attention to what their modeling... I don't know. that statement by Nigel seemed silly to me.
Sure, but I'm more likely to pick up an eyeshadow if the model in the shot seems to be at least present, instead of just kind of hanging around, staring vacantly. Of course, what represents "present" is very subjective, but I wouldn't say that there shouldn't be some kind of a balance between selling the garment and selling yourself. (Haha, that sounds so wrong! But you get what I mean, I hope, even if I'm not super eloquent this early in the morning.)
What gets me more is how the judges and their advice have a way of coming off as very self-contradictory. I'm not sure if it was in this episode, but I know that it's irked me before how sometimes it's the garment that's not "sold" enough, sometimes the model's face - and don't get me started on telling a story, though that's not contradictory, just virtually impossible without captions. Relaying the sense of a story, maybe. Telling a story, no. SORRY. I don't know why I'm so pet peevy all of a sudden

After Angelea's performance at the Bluefly challenge, as relayed by the people themselves in a separate interview, I have a feeling that she didn't actually book all six go-sees.
After everyone giving Kara crap about looking "scruffy" last cycle, how did the rat's nest on Angelea's head not piss off any designers? Win them over with personality? Ha! with her cat claw "raow!" thing? No, there is nothing charming about her whatsoever.
I think the designers were trying to find every fault they could possible come up with as a reason not to book Alex. She is a plus size model, that's the real reason. Sure her skin isn't fantastic but I think she looks great when made up.
Honestly of the girls remaining none have *great modeling potential* The photo shoots this cycle are a hot mess. :/
Yea, I was shocked when they told her that she had bad skin, like, wtf, they didn't even know that they were going on go sees and it was pouring down rain, so even if she had put make up on it would have gotten washed off. Alexandra, I believe, it one of the prettiest ones of the bunch and has a remarkable glow to her skin. They were totally finding anything to find fault about with her.
Whether she had matured or not (she did still seem a little off-kilter to me, to be honest) she was just so pretty. This shot wasn't amazing, no, but, but, ugh, I don't even know. I'm a little sad, too.
